To help manage and troubleshoot the Horizon 6 for Linux software, you can gather information about a View Agent installation on a Linux virtual machine.
Procedure
- Identify the View Agent version that is running on a Linux machine.
Run the following command:
cat /usr/lib/vmware/viewagent/Product.txt
The output displays the View Agent version. For example:
VMware-viewagent-linux-x.x-yyyyyyy
where x.x is the product version and yyyyyyy is the build number.
- Gather information about View Agent software.
